NYC Women Do It More

According to a survey from Trojan, more New York City women have sex several times a week (23%), way more than women in L.A., Dallas, Miami or Chicago. Excellent: Our city's reputation as a hotbed for sin and carnal pleasures will not be undone by quality-of-life measures and a cleaner Times Square! Some other interesting facts: Only 22% say they orgasm during sex, NYC women are the safest in the country (93% use protection on the first sex date) and 68% of NYC ladies admit "they have had a sex partner whom they don't consider 'relationship material,' but whom they consider 'thrilling' anyway," versus 58% nationwide. However, for all the bravado, NYC women are less likely to "experiment," though Gothamist is curious what "experiment" means because "experiment" in Chicago could mean something pretty tame here (well, we're just saying).

Our theory is that Trojan's online survey targeted young New York women or women who came to New York thinking they would live the Samantha Jones-life. The NY Post asked a few women what they thought of the results, and the answers are hilarious:

- "I don't know who these women are. It's too time consuming - if I was having sex that often, I don't think I could go to work." Allison, a 20 year-old dancer who has sex, "hardly ever"
- "It's definitely not hard to believe that so many women are having so much sex - and not just with a boyfriend. I think a lot of them have sex buddies, because I do." Jessica, a 20 year-old NYU student, who has sex six or more times a week
- "It's a nice thing, and it's understandable. Sex is fun, as it should be. I believe that younger women and unmarried women are having the most sex." - Alix, a 45 year-old Women's Wear Daily staffer, who has sex "three times a week - if lucky

Trojan is trying to roll out some female health sex products, hence the study. It seems that NYU's Health Services will have to supply the dorms with those as well as the condoms.

Kojak is obviously not a Sex Pistols fan. Does it seem you gotta beat kids over the head nowadays?

Flowers and rainbows are in the hippie-love-shit category. Sex is in the animal-lust-instinct-can't-live-without-it-best-thing-ever category.

Johnny is obviously not getting any. Maybe the girls you boink arent good enough. I recommend calling your nearest escort service immediately for proper relief.

Sex is boring. BORING. Sex is stupid, hippie-love-shit.

camille

i agree. people who are leading productive couldn't have time for all that nookie.

i know i don't

Kojak

Hmm . . . you have a point there. Easy access to Nookie does increase the chances of boomboom.

think of the male company the dancer hangs around with. Probably not too many opportunities when all of your potentials are more interested in your shoes and think that vagina is 'icky'.

I've had sex 6 times TODAY.

actually kojak, most studies I've read show that married and living-together people have sex more than singles. which makes total sense, if you think about it.

The dancer is right, though. There's really not enough hours in the day for a person to have sex all the time and still hold down a fulltime job. It's no mistake that the one who has sex "six or more times a week" is the presumably unemployed NYU student. Hey, my life was like that back in college too. But those days are done.

There's something just wrong with the world when 20-year-old dancers aren't having sex.

The best condoms are the Trojan "Ultra Pleasure" type, in the purple box. By far.

brian sodol

this makes me so randy and frisky. any of you ladies want to make $50 the hard way?

Kojak

Pretty much drew. But its perfect to strike up conversations about BS.

"I believe that younger women and unmarried women are having the most sex"

That has no shit written all over it.
